Chivas USA midfielder Jorge Villafaña shined in his return to action after being able to score two goals in Major League Soccer’s Reserves League match against the Portland Timbers. Villafaña brace helped the team defeat its Western Conference opponent with a 4-1 final score on Sunday afternoon at the StubHub Center.

It took Villafaña a little over a month to return to action, since suffering a fracture on his left fifth toe during a training session; injury that has kept him sidelined from all action during that time. Little-by-little, the Red-and-White player from Anaheim, Calif., re-joined the team’s activity and finally on Sunday, he was able to take the field, coming in as a sub in the 66th minute.

“I felt good, a little tired because I still need to work on my conditioning, but on the soccer side, I felt good and thank God I was able to score two goals,” Villafaña told cdchivasusa.com after the game.

But the party and the celebrations will continue onto Monday, since on September 16, Villafaña will turn 24. His two goals in Reserves League action are just a part of his celebrations.

“Come Monday, I’ll celebrate; I’m getting older and older every day,” Villafaña joked. “I think I’m very happy; it’s been a month that I was not able to participate at all and I come back and I get two goals. I feel very happy and now to rest and celebrate.”

Fortunately for Jorge Villafaña, Chivas USA will have the day off on Monday, but the celebrations with his teammates will surely come on Tuesday when the Red-and-White return to the StubHub Center to begin preparing for their next match.
